The eighth annual AFL All-Star game takes place tonight at Surprise Stadium. The annual event was renamed the Fall Stars Game after being called the AFL Rising Stars Game for the first seven years. This year’s game will feature three of the top prospects in the Cubs system … Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler and Albert Almora.

All three prospects have created quite the buzz in the AFL this fall. Kris Bryant is tearing up the league and will start at third base and hit third for the East squad. After a slow start and a residency issue, Jorge Soler has been on a tear and will start in right field and hit seventh. Albert Almora is not in the starting lineup but will see playing time in the game.
